A beautiful reading! Listening to the lovely flow of the language made me wonder why we abandoned it for the harsher sounds of today. Thank you for keeping it soft, slow and meditative.

I love this. Erin's voice is soothing. Her diction is clear and easy to listen to. More than anything it was very educational. I listened to this story for weeks and always fell asleep before the end. I loved the introduction with the relaxation process. Most of the time I fell asleep before that was even over but I wanted to hear it to the end because I wanted to learn how and when Arthur became king. Thank you Erin. I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of your stories.

So interesting that I didn’t want to fall asleep but the gentle cadence of her voice made it impossible not to. Big thumbs up!

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but found the ancient languages soothing.

That was fun and different! A little history, a little mythology, some lost language spoken aloud - neat!

That was a very different meditation experience for me. It’s fascinating how different the old English is from its modern counterpart. Almost sounds like Klingon!

Wow! This was nothing short of amazing. I listened while walking in the gentle dark of early evening. It was a perfect meditation. Thank you for this and I hope you continue creating these wonderful meditations 🙏
